A friend of mine stumbled apon this article for the release date of the X1950XTX - The website says that it will be released at the Germany Games Convention on August 23rd.

I am not saying they are legit or anything, which i doubt, but it interesting. Hopefully it could be true.I just thought it was odd that no one else had said anything, and they jsut started to announce it.

Thank you to one of the below posters, i got this link from dailytech, a website i would realy trust

I think we will find out on the 23rd. I wish they would stop messing around and release a masterless crossfire solution on the high end.

On DailyTech:

Please Note: ATI has pulled the Launch Date for the Radeon 1950 Series back to Aug 23rd, as originally scheduled. We will anounce on the 23rd and press embargo will be lifted. We will state that broad availability (retail on-shelf) will be mid-Sept. Apologies for any confusion, thank you-

Technology just isn't going to support that till R600. You need a high speed connection other than the pci-e bus and ATi clearly hasn't designed a chip specifically for CrossFire yet.
